...inmates. Both works could serve social--even political--ends, but Simon insists she should not be mistaken for a photojournalist, and her old-style technique indeed argues that she is not. She works with a large-format camera and will wait all day for the perfect shot rather than shoot multiple rolls and edit her film later. The process earns her trust and access. "I can't be sneaky," she says. The result of that openness is frank pictures, straightforwardly taken--and as a consequence, startlingly revealing...
...former painter, Lux, 38, brings her images to life with the attention to form, shape and color that she learned at the easel. The artistry begins at the photo shoot, but her signature style--the brushstrokes of her new medium--comes later, at the computer. First she strips out the background and replaces it with a quiet setting--a grassy field, an abandoned building--from her personal stash of paintings and pictures.

It can be argued that the contradiction between those two modes is more apparent than real. High romance disorders the spirits...
...troops--or worse, foreign relief workers--would be viewed as hostile forces even if the U.S. and its allies made clear that their actions were strictly for humanitarian purposes. To save the Burmese people without their rulers' consent, in other words, we may not have much choice but to shoot...
